Destination: Up North

目的地：北方

Previous trend reports revealed the expansion of business ventures and thriving economic centers towards cities and provinces outside Metro Manila. While the capital region remains to have the highest demand, a lot of adjacent areas (Central Luzon, for example) are now getting a share of the investors' attention.

之前的趋势报告显示，商业企业和繁荣的经济中心正在向马尼拉大都会以外的城市和省份扩张。虽然首都地区的需求仍然最高，但许多邻近地区（例如吕宋岛中部）现在正受到投资者的关注。

The government has likewise launched countryside advancement programs including big-ticket infrastructures that would make the rural areas even more accessible. These 'geographically inclusive' projects are also part of the conscious effort to decongest the nation's capital.

政府同样启动了农村发展计划，包括使农村地区更容易进入的大型基础设施。这些“具有地域包容性”的项目也是缓解国家首都拥堵的有意识努力的一部分。

Given these developments, it is safe and optimistic to say that Ilocos Norte is next in line as the desired investment hub in the northern Philippines. With its strategic location, vast natural resources, competitive business environment, and supportive local government unit, the province is more than ready for further growth and be a gateway for trade and investments.

鉴于这些事态发展，可以肯定和乐观地说， 北伊罗戈斯 将成为菲律宾北部理想的投资中心。凭借其战略位置、丰富的自然资源、具有竞争力的商业环境和支持性的地方政府部门，该省已做好进一步发展的准备，并成为贸易和投资的门户。

Ilocos Norte is set to entice future investors to look beyond the Metro and realize that there is no other way but up (north).

北伊罗戈将吸引未来的投资者将目光投向地铁以外的地方，并意识到除了向上（向北）别无他法。
